NEWS: Forum Update week of Sept 24th-28th, Downtimes

Even though he is right, it is still convenient but it seems the highlighting doesn't work well with a touchpad on a notebook under Windows 10. When scrolling the mouse disappears and leaves the background highlighted. After some scrolling around multiple topics keep being highlighted. It is a very tiny cosmetic problem only, though.

I like the new look very much

New forum is very cool, but where is new trailer and release date?

[nemesis1982]

New forum looks great. Took a few minutes to get used to the brighter yellow though

@jeka1900: Maybe the next forum upgrade then?

[A5PECT]

Browsing the forum on a phone (Android), and it's an improvement in very way I can think of.

We decided to not release a trailer for the new forum, and make a surprise release instead. There was a little heads-up from BurnIt! though.

Surprise is the smooth release of new forum layout

BTW - great job with the new forum.
Looks great, works great.

He is joking by talking about a release trailer for the forum.

Quick lesson in X2 sarcasm.

Exactly, it breaks my heart

[radcapricorn]

Hmm... maybe we need a separate topic for observations?

That's a very strange reaction to a joke. Especially to one that is so obvious, if you talk about a trailer in the forum update topic. An update some of us have been waiting for for about ten years (or less).

Also, I thought we established already that it's not a good idea to release a trailer and announce the release date, thus drawing more attention to the forum, while the forum is still being updated, and may not run as stable as it needs to be.

I know it and understand, it was sarcasm from me. I'm very glad to see updated forum, it's really cool.

[Miniding]

Very nice look the new forum guys!!! Well done!!

It's a bit tricky to retrieve our uses but what a step forward for X forum!!!

Thank you all!!!

[DaMuncha]

Sarcasm does not translate well over the internet.

An issue for me is that the page number for the threads is over to the right and not under the topic link, leading me to assume there was no pages for the topic untill I realized the page numbers were waaaaaaaay over to the right side of the screen.

[Hank001]

Egosoft. Hank001 has three words for you.

I LOVE IT!

(Now I'll let people who don't get on with their rants )

[Juggernaut93]

Just one thing. The Game registration page title in the user settings is not translated from German, it shows "Spiel Registrierung" instead of "Game Registration" (or "Registazione gioco" in Italian )

[Hank001]

Edit: MOBILE USERS:

The bbs codes wrap around the text IF YOU HAVE THE TEXT HIGHLIGHTED. So quotes, links, pics, etc need the text highlighted and THEN press the command.

Works great though and is easier, so kudoes there too.

[ballti]

Nice new forum skin.
Im not read all posts, but better 2 time then zero: I miss medals/achievements for top players.

@Hank001
I don't get the problem you are having. The BBCode gets wrapped around your currently marked text. So you can write first, then wrap the text in BBCode.

On my Android phone the keyboard automatically appears when only the cursor gets wrapped in BBCode.
